Big Pharma and the insurance industry have always fought dirty. They flood the airwaves with deceptive ads and spend hundreds of millions a year on legalized bribery in Congress. Now they’ve been caught ghostwriting op-eds for elected officials.

This is some next-level corruption. It’s also undeniable proof that they’re terrified of our grassroots movement. Our organizing is working. But it’s clear we need to fight twice as hard because these attacks are only going to grow more intense as we gain ground.

Sign up today to join an organizing event near Washington. Together, we’ll build a national movement for Medicare for All so big that lawmakers will be forced to listen.

Annandale Medicare for All Phone Bank George Mason Library (Community Meeting Room) 7001 Little River Turnpike, Annandale, VA Saturday, December 14, 12:30 PM RSVP » Uncovered: Health Care Conversations with Ady Barkan Screening Busboys and Poets Takoma 235 Carroll St, NW, Washington DC, DC Monday, December 9, 7:00 PM RSVP »

No matter what, now isn’t the time to get bogged down arguing with the cynical donor class, out-of-touch pundits, or the politicians who’ve been bought and paid for. Our path to victory is clear. Here’s how:

1. There has NEVER been this much public support and momentum. 85% of Democratic voters are in favor of Medicare for All. And a majority of 2020 presidential candidates are too. We have the wind in our sails;
2. There’s a clear legislative path in front of us — H.R. 1384, Rep. Jayapal’s Medicare for All bill — has record support from 119 members of Congress;
3. Democrats just took back the House a year ago. That kind of political control means it’s more than possible to advance the bill forward, maybe even get it to the floor.

We’re in a prime position to put an end to a profit-driven health care system that has looted and pillaged working families for decades.

This is our chance to win Medicare for All — but only if we put in the work, door by door, phone call by phone call to make it happen. Will you sign up to join an event today?

Thanks for all that you do.

In solidarity,
